I have heard from a lady in NM who needs help with a chin. The chin has been through hell. He has been badly beaten up probably by other chins before she got him. She runs a small rat rescue and the nearby Petco talked her into taking him after they had him treated for the bites and he healed up. He has some socialization problems and has probably not been handled much. She is in over head with him.
Here is a quote from her: "I really want to rehome him to a place that has more time to work with his personality. He seems so smart and observant. Just very untrusting and driven by is prey instincts. He needs to be somewhere that understands chinchillas better. So while he is safe here and better off than he was at Petco, my house isn't really a good permanent home for him. Would you guys be willing to advise me and help me find a good home for him? If you want to take him into one of you foster homes that's fine. If you don't have space then he can stay here and maybe you guys could help me find the right forever home for him.
Can anyone nearer to her help? If needed, we could probably get him into a foster home here in Texas if a railroad could be set up. Anyone wanting to help or needing more information can PM me.

Marissa lives in NM. I'll ask her to check this out and maybe she can help out somehow.

Just sent my friend Cindy a text. She runs Haven for hamsters and I foster chins & degus for her. She is friends with both the rat rescue ladys here. There are all kinds of people saying they are a rescue but aren't so I am glad she is reaching out.

Got ahold of Ashley in Las Cruces. We touched base and we are working on transport. I have a friend that goes that way occasionally and I will also post on the NM transport FB. He will be here soon.

That is just WONDERFUL!! I know he will come around under your care. ♥ Are you going to foster him or keep him?

My friend stopped by and picked up the chin in Las Cruses. He is adorable. I figure I will let him relax a bit before trying to get a picture. He sniffed my fingers through the carrier so that is a good sign. My friend is so cute. She had the air in the car cranked up for him and her kids were under blankets. It was to funny.
